Fulfilling Srila Prabhupada’s Wishes
This seminar asks, how can we fulfil Srila Prabhupada’s wishes in respect of adult spiritual education? What can we do better? This is Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON, not just ours and he should be at the very heart of our education programmes. We will look at his instructions (letters, film footage, writings, pastimes) and how we can follow them into the future through systematic study and reading of his books. We will also show through his teachings that collaborative working across ISKCON will strengthen our education programmes for future generations, and how his spirit of honesty, compassion and good governance should be the guiding force behind our spiritual education system for adults, new devotees and the future leaders of ISKCON.
